Pomegranate sorbet

Ingredients

  1. 200g caster sugar
  2. ½ cinnamon stick
  3. 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses (optional, from Sainsbury’s)
  4. Juice of about 6 pomegranates, or 600ml pomegranate juice, plus extra pomegranate seeds to decorate
  5. 2 large free-range egg whites

Method

  1. 1. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, molasses and 100ml water in a small pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Cool completely, then combine with the pomegranate juice and taste.
  2. 2. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks in a bowl, then fold into the sorbet mix. Either churn in an ice cream maker or freeze for 2 hours in a metal bowl, beating the edges of the sorbet every 30 minutes until it is firm but has a lovely smooth, mousse-like texture.
  3. 3. Layer the pomegranate seeds and sorbet in dessert glasses or bowls.
